⚙️ Programmatic Method (for advanced users)
If you're dealing with:

Many blogs
-
Custom platforms

Needing better control
You can use APIs or scraping + scripting:

-
Blogger API
-
Python scripts for scraping and posting

RSS feeds for automated transfer
đ Final Tips
-
Always back up both blogs before starting.
-
Double-check image/media URLs — they might still point to the original site.
-
Update internal links if needed.
-
Check formatting; some features (like custom blocks) might not migrate cleanly.
